How Long Does It Take To Lose Baby Weight?

Tina Muir
Just over a few years ago, I intentionally put on 15lbs to get my period back after secretly struggling with amenorrhea, a lack of periods, for nine years.

Except life doesn’t happen that way, and actually, we probably wouldn’t want it to even if we DID have the choice, as…

Second Trimester Update (18 Weeks)

Tina Muir
When you are in the first trimester of pregnancy, time feels like it is moving so slowly. You so desperately want to get to part where you are in the safe zone, where your baby is mostly secure and you can breathe deep. You are also acutely aware the second trimester is “the good part”,…

First Trimester Pregnancy Update (Already 13 Weeks!)

Tina Muir
If you had asked me 6 weeks ago how my first trimester was going, I would have probably replied with “ugh”. If you made the comment, don’t worry, you will only feel sick for another 6 weeks, as it eases up for most people after 12, I probably would have given you dagger eyes. 6…

Um….I’M PREGNANT!

Tina Muir
I know. I can barely believe it myself. I can barely believe I am typing it, but yes, I am pregnant, 8 weeks pregnant. Let me just tell you, it has been SO hard not saying anything, especially with what I am about to tell you. But first, as this is probably the biggest news…

The Will to Win: Is it Bad to be Too Competitive?

Tina Muir
People often ask me when I first realized I was good at running. As a professional runner, you have to know these things, because of course, I should have been way out in front of all the boys from an early age, proving my physical ability before it was even developed. It is the story…

Tina Muir
body image, confidence
Now I have had many great guests on the podcast before but the podcast episode with Dr Bhrett McCabe was one of the most eye-opening podcasts I have ever recorded. He said so many things that were so applicable to us all, to every single one of us, regardless of what stage of life we…

When the Soreness Has Faded

Tina Muir
marathon, marathon recovery, racing, struggles
With each marathon I have done, the soreness has lasted less time, which is a good sign, right? Well yes, you don’t look like you have been beaten up while you walk around, and of course, not being in pain is good…although a sick part of me kind of likes the post marathon soreness, as…
